I recently left what many people would consider a “dream” career in a cool role for a storied institution because I made no money and felt bored, and I transitioned over into tech. In my new role, my boss has been frustrated that I'm not enough of a “self-starter” and he's right. I don't really want to be there, and it shows in my work. I have none of the new-job motivation I've had in my first few weeks at other roles. The problem is, there is no work I would WANT to do.

They took over my email. I have 3 people who checks my emails every second. I feel disrespected on this one because I specifically told them that I would take care of emails. After they agreed, they started checking MY emails more. More importantly they are sending emails from MY email account under my name. Is this legal? I really dont want them to use my name when they send out emails. Can I tell them to stop? I just need some opinions
